Agreed. Titans seem to have the best PVP presence. Strikers get the best grenades in the game and a vastly upgraded super that can wipe the enemy team even if they disperse. Barriers are better for PVP survival than rifts because a rift has a delay before it starts healing and won't do anything against focus fire.

Warlocks solar flare grenades are nerfed to oblivion in comparison to pulse, and of course both classes suffer with sticky grenades no longer being lethal. Why are they even in the game?

Warlocks are nice is PVE, though, I agree. I just always do much better with Titan in PVP, even though I spent 80% of D1 playing Warlock.

Interesting thought. I'm not sure if Sapkowski was aware of this or not, but women actually have stronger immune systems than men.

Testosterone, while it gives men the potential for superior strength and muscle density, and we require it for optimal mental health/motivation/zeal for life, it also decreases the body's ability to fight diseases, infections, etc. Like most things in nature, it is a double-edged sword.

Loved the music... hated the foreboding feeling of "what kind of god-awful worm could this thing be installing on my machine?"

Since I'm basically admitting to downloading keygens, I will add that I was one of the "ethical pirates" and always bought games I enjoyed. Many games got my business that wouldn't have otherwise (hellooo Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines!)

As far as laptop gaming goes, you could worse than a MacBook Pro. The problem is laptop gaming is for the birds.

If you have good specs and a dedicated GPU, you'll get passable results for a year or two, but then it's time to upgrade and, well crap! You have a laptop and everything is soldered to the logic board.

My MacBook Pro is still my go-to machine for almost everything, especially music recording/production. When it comes to gaming, though, that's why I maintain a self-built gaming system. There's still nothing in the Microsoft nor Apple world that matches the value of a DIY gaming desktop.

Well, for quite a while, a MacBook Pro with a dedicated GPU was the best Windows laptop one could buy (provided you installed Windows on it, of course). That's not quite the case now that Tim Cook is running things, though.

I'm still curious about the benefits of running a Thunderbolt 3 GPU enclosure, though... Theoretically, it seems like the best of both worlds.

Edit: It seems like one could enjoy the benefits of the Mac universe, the mobility of a laptop, and the performance of a gaming PC from a single machine.

I would have hoped! 5-3, actually. The curve wasn't amazing and Ozruk is difficult to activate when OP rogue decks keep controlling the board. Also, I couldn't count on Servant of Kalimos discovering Kalimos every game... ;)

Because Bioware's project leads were quick to harass and ostracize anyone who presented dissenting opinions or feedback. Just read their Glassdoor page. It looks like a horror show over there.

I'm sure you meant these "ugly meetings" to be hypothetical, but I'm convinced they actually occured. This is what happens when you let SJWs not only interfere with the creative process, but completely run the show.

The REAL Bioware is my favorite dev of all time, right up there with Valve, id Software, pre-Activision Blizzard, etc. However, I feel no allegiance to Bioware's current incarnation because it is literally a completely different company with all new employees. This is not the Bioware that made the games I fell in love with.

Subtle jab? At you? It was actually at poker and gambling, in general. You can pass the buck off to those poor, weak people with "gambling addictions," but that glosses over the fact that gambling is a brain hack that exploits the dopamine release mechanism, much like gaming does. If it didn't ruin lives, it wouldn't be a successful business model. That's why it was outlawed in most states and why pay2win gaming is controversial.

I'm all for personal freedom and don't even support the ban of gambling, but the reasons for laws against it illustrate my argument.

Lastly, yes, I said "argument" because that's what it is. An argument is any discussion involved different points of view, debate, or even a simple process of reasoning. I didn't say "fight." No need to get uppity. The fact that you took this personally and cast a character judgement based on words might say a few things about you...
